As much as we love it when we see subtle runway hair and makeup that we can actually recreate in everyday life, half the fun of fashion week is checking out the crazy nail designs that are anything but understated. See the coolest trending nail art from the runways.

Jeremy Scott S/S 17

This combo of glossy red nails and giant gold stars is the most simple of these nail designs, and yet still brings the fun factor.

The Blonds S/S 17

This look is as intricate as it is interesting, with tiny linked chains stuck around the outside of the nail. Fun fact: The nail art for this show took over 300 hours to do!

Tadashi Shoji S/S 17

The perfect way to up your metallic nail look if you’re feeling festive: add more glitter!

Marc Jacobs Beauty

The brand posted this glossy and metallic manicure to its Instagram, showing off what seems to be a new trend in fashion week street style – logo nail art. This incredible branded nail look was created by @jinsoonchoi, using new shades of custom Enamored Nail Lacquer by Marc Jacob.

Libertine S/S 17

The commitment to extreme nail art at NYFW continues to amaze, with these tiny jewels and chains paired with bold, tropical colours. The reason the nail art for this show was crazy? It was to replace jewellery and accessories for the models.

If you're slightly less adventurous but still after for a head turning nail look, this Korean sunglass manicure is the latest trend to take the Internet by storm.
